SHILLING n WAVES,
puieting Effect of Kerosene Oil on the
Troubled Waters of the Ocean.

Captain T. A. Cloudman of the
wrecked yacht Outing, tells the follow
ing story Of the use of oil to still the
waves: "At first we used n heavy oil,
but this finally gave out, and we were
reduced to the use of kerosene, which
answered all purposes. For several
hours Mr.. Miller sat on the bow of the
boat with the oil can in his hands. The
wave were running what people usn-
ally term mountains high, and it
looked as if the little craft would 90
down every moment. As there was
only a limited amount of oil on board,
it was used very sparingly. He watch
ed the waves very carefully,
and whenever he saw that one
was about to break over the boat he
would apply the oil which prevented it
from breaking. and the boat would
pass safely over it. As the supply
diminished he gradually reduced the
application, and it was finally found
that the application of a teaspoonful Of
Kerosene oil to IL breaking wave would
prevent its breaking further, and for
hours we fought these by the applica.
ton of only that amount. At one time
we saturated u lot of rags with the
OIL, and placing them in a stocking
suspended them in the water over the
bow which lasted for hours. Sea after
sea came dashing up and threatened to
break over and swamp us, but the
prompt application of IL little oil pre-
vented this, and during our whole
experience but II wave broke on US.
ana 'nal was when we failed to supply
the oil.'--N. Y. Post.

OF GIRLS.
A Social Accomplishment That Ia Fsr
More Useful Than Music.

II is the natural wish of every mother
to educate her daughters in some social
accomplishment that will add to their
attractiveness and agreeability. What
the accomplishments shall be is a dill
ticult question to decide, if the student
displays no very strong bent in any
one direction.
Some lighter grace above the solid
part of ones education is always de-
sirable; a person who merely possesses
solid information alone is apt to APP
pear pedantic. But very often the
time spent in acquiring so-called ac-
complishmcnts is absolutely thrown
away. Take. for example, piano play
ing. Almost every girl attempts this
and in families of small means the house.
hold is often skimped to obtain an in.
strument and lessons. Wherever there
is the slightest fondness or aptitude for
music it is certainly allowable to
economize closely in other ways to OBJ
tain it; its enlivcning influence on the
household can not be overestimated.
But don't we all know eases where a
girl utterly devoid of ear is kept drum
ming at her practising just because
Mrs. BIS daughter plays so prettily.
and gains so much praise by it?
BY all means let every girl who has
the opportunity learn something of
music; above all, if she has any voice,
let her sing; she will give pleasure to
herself and others, and tighten many a
tedious hour. But don't let her strum
all her brains away.
There is one social accomplishment
far more useful than music, and hat is
the art of agreeable conversation. The
girl who plays the piano finely, but is
unable to converse, is always at a dis
advantage when compared with one
who, devoid Of accomplishments"
knows just what to say and when to
say it.
What are the requisites for a good
eonversationalist2 First of all, 4
kindly and sympathetic disposition, to-
gether with IL readiness to be pleased
by others. Add to this the impalpable
quality we call tact, and Il fund of
varied information, such as comes only
with much desultory read ing, and we
have all the material, if We do but use
it Alright.
If We make up Il minds to really
please people we are pretty sure to sue
coed. But there is one noticeable fact
a person may often gain a reputation
for agreeable conversation merely
through listening pleasantly to what
others say. So, to be truly agreeable,
we must cultivate the art Of listening
as we'll as talking, and. like Madame
de Stael. c"nliven the conversation by
brilliant flashes of silence. '--Rural

ARCTIC ANIMALS.
The Habits of the Seal in Far
Alaska.
Hunting the WaIrus-The Polar Bear II
His Icy Habitation-i Curious Bill
of Fare-!Iunting the
Grampus.

Sustcnancc Of life forms the chief
care of the mute race of Alaska. The
struggle to obtain food supply is the
one absorbing thought throughout the
entire cycle of their existence. Nature
seems to have provided certain ami
mails peculiarly adapted to the hyper.
borcan region, and cminently fitted to
afford sustcnance to the race who have
to withstand the eyigencics and severe
climatic changes of an Arctic zone.
The principal animals inhabiting the
waters Of Northwestern Alaska are the
various members of the seal family.
The genus phoce is represented by the
P. fmtida, or ringed seal; the T..
lcoparohinas, OF leopard seal: his
triophaca cquestro. the rare saddle
back. and the smooth black variety
known -, ]. barbatl. hinged seals
are very numerous, and are caught by
the natives in various ways. During
the winter these phOc,c, rising to the
surface, strike against the thin, young
ice, and make II hole. Through these
holes they crawl upon the smooth sur
face and lie sleeping at the brink. In
the carly spring the first glimpse of
sun induces them to forsake their wa
terry homes, and to bask in the warm
rays seems to afford great pleasure to
these amphibinus creatures. When
lying in these positions the hunter
crawls upon all four, in as stealthy II
manner As possible.
CAUGHT IN A NET.
When, after a gale, the ice is broken
up into small leads, Il net made of
taut seal hide is stretched across the
chaSm. and the seals, rising to blow,
become ~cntranglcd in the meshcS.
Within the last decade brecch-loading
firearms have been used by the Mutes
in hunting, but previous 10 their intro
duction spears made with copper or
iron heads were used. the frame for
carrying the spear being carved from
walrus ivory. To the end of the spear
a long coil of seal line is attached. to
which, at intervals, bladders of the seal
are fastened. In these ways the hardy
natives hunt the animal which affords
them not only food, but also oil for
their lamps and hides for their clothing.
When the icy wind sweeps over the
frozen expansc of sea. carrying with it
small pcllicles Of snow that, striking
the face, cut the skin like u charge Of
shot; when log and now mist cnvelop
the landscape, a Mute hunter has to
possess grit and nerve to face condi-
lions that no white mar has ever yet
done. The intensity Of the storms
during tho winter in the Arctic can
hardly be imagined. The piercing
wind. accompanied by drifting snow
which shuts every object within a few
feet entirely from view, tho acute cold

THE SHADOW ON OUR LIVES.

In the dense and leafy woodland,
From each lofty tree-top down,
Flccked with dashes OF the sunlight,
Falls the shadow cool and brown,
But how different is the shadow
Which our soul of light deprives;
Different far from many SHADOWS
Never lifted from ourliyes.
When our life is young and buoyant,
When our hopes are high and strong,
Then beware Of thoughtless errors
That are something less than wrong
For. though each may be a tritie,
As shadow it survives:
And VT never through cndcavOr
Lift that shadow from our lives.
Words, in careless moments uttered,
And by us forgotten soon,
Grow with those whose hearts are wounded,
And the freshcts swell in June;
More than bur1hens they may crush us,
They may gail us more than gives;
Strive we e'er SO much We never
Lift the shadows from our lives,
Some neglect of hounden duty,
But a triae at the time,
Merely discori IN the music,
Merely error in the Rhyme
Worse than whips some day may lash US,
Or may wound It's worse than knives,
And our deep rem0rsa shall never
Lift that shadow from our lives.
Come thcr" ever so much slialight
On our latter manhuOd's days:
Though the glory Of our fortunes
In its utmost brilliance blaze;
Though the VIC Id around US wonder
As each lofty purpose thriyes,
Sadness fills us that we never
Lift the shadow from our lives.
When, our lifc's day nearly ended,
Comes the setting OF the sun,
Though the crimson, gold and purple
OF u sunset Sky be won;
Though We close the day in honor,
Heroes even to our wives,
Yet this glow expiring never
Lifts The shadow from our lives.
When our sunset fades to twilight,
And the final hour is here;
When the world around is passing,
And the world to come is ncnr;
Then our memories throng around US
And the flesh with spirit strives,
And we never, never, never
Lift the shadows from our lives.

LEPROSY IN LOUISIANA.
DR.. Holt Calls on the State to Pro-
vide Hospital.

The very thorough report OF Or. Holt
OF the subject of the leprosy found to
exist in st. Martinsville calls attention
to duty which the legislature ought to
have attended to years ago. There are
lepers in Lafourche, st. Martin, and
Vermillion parishes. 1t is to be remem-
bered, however, that while the cases OF
ieprosy in st. Martinsville were clearly
shown to be hereditary, that former
investigation in Lafourche indicated
that the disease was contagious, and the
B tish medical commission which inves
tlgated the epidemic in Nova Scotia, to
VIII NEST of the cases IN Lou siana are
traceable, was thoroughly convinced of
.ts consciousness. DR.. Holt calls on
the State government to provide spec
ial hospital for these people. DR.. Jones,
when he made an investigation some
wears age, of the leper settlement in
Lafourche, made similar suggestion.
There are less than two dozen lepers in
Louisiana, whose existence and locate n
are known. To care for them would
cost a few thousand dollars at most, al d
the result would be to extermiuate in a
few years disease which has remained
blot on Louisiana for too long time
already. Even the old Spanish govern
ors recognized the duties OF the govern
ment in this matter, and to meet the in
crease in leprosy then prevalent in New
Orleans, as we'll as in some of the par
ishes, established hospital here just a
century ago, and within q few years
leprosy had disappeared from Louis
lana. 1t has since established itself in
| two or three well-marked sections of the
Sta Were it will linger forever, slow y
extending its faint to those who inter
marry with the leprous families, unless

which all those afflicted with this dis
ease can be confined and treated.-New
